“I am very excited to showcase our fighters come Sept. 23,” said Rivalta. “I want to thank Martin Mancini, Nick Alvarez and our team for all the work that has been done. Our vision is to change the lives of young men who sacrifice their own lives in the ring. Teaching them to put God first in all they do. These talents will be future world champions and we are very happy to help lead the way.”
